softraid0: invalid metadata format
You filled the disk with random data, which is not a valid metadata format...
I followed the FAQ, http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#softraidCrypto .
Sorry, I was hasty. You can also try creating smaller partitions. 16TB, 8TB,
etc. to see what works. That would be helpful information to have.
8Tb seems to be fine, 16 not so much. Ran into a weird issue where I
couldn't try with 12Tb.
